Collection to update existing sharepoint list item

Hi,

I have a report that is put into a collection in PowerApps after doing some calculations. The collection contains the SP List ID that will be updated along with a field value to be updated. When I am trying to update the SP List, it doesn't seem to be working.

My Collection is called colGTSSpent and the SPList is called Footprint.

If(AppliedMonth = "08",

ForAll(colGTSSpent,

Patch(Footprint,LookUp(Footprint,ID=Value(ID)),{GTSAUG: GTSAUG})

)

If I patch the record from the gallery it works OK but it takes forever as there are around 1000 records.

Any ideas?

Hi @StephCORKING ,

A bit of ambiguity to be fixed - I assume ID is numeric in the collection

If( AppliedMonth = "08", ForAll( colGTSSpent As aPatch, Patch( Footprint, {ID:aPatch.ID), {GTSAUG: aPatch.GTSAUG} ) ) )

Hi @WarrenBelz
Yes, ID is a numeric value in the collection and it's the ID field from the SPList, and I renamed the collection items to begin with c. So it would would cID and cGTSAUG.
I'm a bit confused in your example. aPatch is a variable that I need to set?

Also, don't I need to get the matching record from the Footprint list by using a lookup?

@StephCORKING ,

No, it is a disambiguation tool - you cannot have field names the same in the source and target when patching.

Got it, thanks. I've changed the names in the collection.
Do I not need to include a lookup to the Footprint SP List to match the record to update? is including it in the patch as in your example, enough?
{ID:aPatch.ID), {GTSAUG: aPatch.GTSAUG}

Hi @StephCORKING ,

No the {ID:aPatch.ID} is the LookUp, but stated more directly.

Hi @WarrenBelz
Thanks a lot for your help on this. It's working fine now (although it seems to run quite slowly)
